West Ham are very much in the market for a new right back in the summer transfer window.

They have added the position to the priority signing list along with a striker as they bid to strengthen and double up in all positions.

The Irons are determined to join the Premier League elite and know that whilst Sam Byram was a top signing at £3.8 million he may need time and a right sided defender is a top requirement.

We were told this afternoon: “The position has been discussed regularly and Slaven Bilic wants the position strengthening. We need at least two on the books.”

The Hammers were reported yesterday as being keen on Wolves’ right back Dominic Iorfa as a summer target and that was not denied by our source.

 The 20-year-old star defender is reckoned to be the ‘finished article,’ an England Under 21 International  but is understood to interest Arsenal, Southampton , Crystal Palace as well as ourselves.
But our source added: “There are three or four names on our list because although James Tomkins has done well in the role when required and Michail Antonio has shown his versatility there, we do need a natural right back.”
